Us true Rockies fans will continue to support the team and organization through thick and thin, just like they have always be there for their beloved fans. We care when they&#39;re struggling and we know they care when we are! And you can sure bet that when they won their game yesterday it brought just a glimmer of joy in this tragic time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-50776601846922236412012-07-22T08:50:30.295-06:002012-07-22T08:50:30.295-06:00I pity small minds like you.

We, here in Colorado take care of our people rising to any occasion to help in every way possible and show that caring for our communities only make our state stronger. If other communities and states took from our example, the world would be a better place. There are no other places in the world that you can visit that treats every person with decency and respect on a daily basis, but obviously there are people out there that use any reason to undermine a person, a community, a state, and a sports team. This article really caught my eye in bringing to light the good that the Rockies did while on the road in San Diego (wishing they were here to help) and yet the whole article was overshadowed by the digging comments made about a hopeless season for a team that still plays with heart. Undoubtedly the team will be playing with a heavy heart out on the road until they return home to a state and community that prides itself in lending a helping hand instead of holding out hand for gifts. Shameful dig(s) on an organization and vulgar words toward a state that has come together more than once to rise above the situation and become even stronger. We here in Colorado should be seen as united in our efforts to overcome and persevere. Our resources are also used in many out of state efforts to help a lending hand to those in need beyond our borders also. We have set a precedent in what it means to care and lend a helping hand, every state and community should be so lucky. An entire state mourns, how many states can say they feel the real pain of tragedy of this magnitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-22528401492467194542012-07-21T23:13:08.762-06:002012-07-21T23:13:08.762-06:00You&#39;re an absolute idiot. Yeah burn the whole...You&#39;re an absolute idiot. Yeah burn the whole state, how desensitized you are; how dare you make a brass statement like that two days following a brutal and heinous crime was committed that took the lives of innocent people. No one asked for this, just like no one asked for a drought and lightning that started wildfires that cost hundreds of peoples homes and belongings. I pity you sir/mam (whatever you are) and hope you find some solace and understanding in your life. The reality is tragedies happen day in and day out. If you don&#39;t believe it, watch the news for ten minutes and you&#39;ll find out. Don&#39;t think that for one second it can&#39;t happen in your town or state, because it surely will. When it does, guess what will happen, you&#39;ll have me, a born Coloradan praying for your family, friends and neighbors dealing with the horror that the people in Colorado unfortunately have all to often been reminded of. Show some class and respect. People lost their lives two days ago because some misguided and obviously psychotic individual lost touch with reality and killed them in cold blooded murder. Colorado is a wonderful state. We will never lose faith, and i pray you don&#39;t either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-50455568759481175042012-07-21T23:01:50.927-06:002012-07-21T23:01:50.927-06:00Dude.

Only that backwoods piece of crap redneck state could produce a messed up person like David Parker Ray. I also remember your state burning to the ground this summer. New Mexico Ranks 39th on the integrity list of states. If you spend 10 minutes on google you can find dirt on any state. So stay in Mexico...oops I mean &quot;New&quot; Mexico. Where there is absolutely NOTHING. No sports team, no population, 1 in 169 chance of being involved in a violent crime (Colorado is 1 in 311). Just because you watch the news doesn&#39;t make you a genius. Don&#39;t take this terrible crime as an opportunity to justify your menial life decisions. Maybe you should just be respectful to all the victims in this tragedy. Instead of pointing the blame with your generalizations and stereotypes.

I grew up in Queens NY, and as a result, spent the great majority of my young life in either Shea or Yankee Stadium. I spent a few recent years in Phoenix, and in both places, it was SO nice to have Major League Baseball at my disposal. We have the Dodgers AAA team here, and while it&#39;s nice, it&#39;s just not the show. I think the Rockies have THE most beautiful stadium in the big leagues, and I&#39;ve enjoyed myself each and every time I visited there. I think about relocating, and then something AWFUL happens in Colorado, and it happens all TOO often. I don&#39;t know when Colorado had become the nation&#39;s leader in bad headline making news, but it seems they now CLEARLY have the title. Used to be all the wierd stuff came out of California or NY and just floated to the middle of the country...Now, all the crazies seem to have their home base in Colorado, which is such a shame to be happening in such a beautiful state. True, the Rockies are a silly, floundering organization with seemingly NO answers, direction or leadership, but at least they DO provide a 3-4 hour diversion for the people of Colorado to escape and hide, even for a little while, from the horrible state they live in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
